GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Physical weathering, also called mechanical weathering, is a process that causes the disintegration of rocks, mineral, and soils without chemical change. The primary process in physical weathering is abrasion (the process by which clasts and other particles are reduced in size).

Detailed explanation-2: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sun, rain, frost, and wind are breaking down even the most solid of the rocks into smaller bits before they are taken away. This process is termed as weathering.

Detailed explanation-4: -WEATHERING. 1. Weathering is a term which describes the general process by which rocks are broken down at the Earth’s surface into such things as sediments, clays, soils and substances that are dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Weathering is the process of disintegration of rock from physical, chemical, and biological stresses. Weathering is influenced by temperature and moisture (climate). As rock disintegrates, it becomes more susceptible to further physical, chemical, and biological weathering due to the increase in exposed surface area.
